In Tatarstan, specialists from the Agricultural Production Center developed technical specifications for handling livestock by-products for 60 farms.

The branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "TsOK APK" in the Republic of Tatarstan provides services to agricultural producers in the region regarding the handling of livestock by-products. In addition to laboratory testing, the branch's specialists develop technical specifications that facilitate the timely monitoring and proper handling of livestock by-products, reduce the risk of violating current legislation, and improve the efficiency of agricultural production.
As of September 1, 2025, specialists from the branch's testing laboratory had already developed technical specifications for the use of livestock by-products for 60 large and medium-sized livestock and poultry farms in the republic.
"Farmers' interest in the technical specification development service, provided by our branch since this spring, has been rapidly growing, as it ensures that livestock by-products comply with all necessary safety requirements and standards, and allows for the free use and sale of livestock by-products in the future," explained Idris Gatin, Deputy DIRECTOR of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "TsOK APK" in the Republic of Tatarstan.
The developed specifications contain mandatory information on the intended use and scope of application of the PPZh, processing and reprocessing methods, consumer characteristics of the product, safety requirements for humans and the environment, and conditions of use.
Laboratory testing of PPZh includes testing samples for toxic element content, pesticide residues, and determining quality indicators such as total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, organic matter content, moisture, pH, dry residue, impurities, and particle size.
